"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron." - Dwight Eisenhower 4/16/1953

10/7/78 Alan and the Cabs:
I never will forget
Alan and the cabs
it started on the sidewalk
with Kenny, me and Babs;
Al was feeling awful,
we headed for McDoughal.
he wanted a falafel
we needed to be frugal
So low on beans
we split the scene
and we headed for home
So we stared talking
about what we should do
while we were walking
on Sixth Avenue
We were tired
We were cold
We were feeling so bold
We were running a tab
what the hell - hail a cab!
Alan hailed a yellow limo
i counted all my change
loo at all de preety women
man, did we feel strange
Left on 29th Street
Thank you for the ride
Al and I were totaled out
And then we got inside
The lifts they were both broken
SH*T, F*CK, PISS and SCREW!
Just a stairway to heaven
what else could we do
Eleven flights of stairs
straight up from where we were standing
Al humiliated every firehose
on every single landing
As we entered the eleventh floor
we gave the door a few choice jabs
I never will forget the night
of Alan and the cabs.

For the third straight week, reports of strange, unexplainable accidents of all kinds, in all different situations, to all sorts of people, all over the world were being monitored by governmental agencies from all the major powers.
26-OCT-1978
As my hand broke
the perfect stillness
of the water's surface,
another hand
touched mine
and pulled me
gently and completely
under
into a quiet
liquid
luxury.
touched mine
touched mind
